Preventing the Breeding of Mosquitoes 


We are echoing San Antonio Mayor Ron Nirenberg's statement about preventing the breeding of mosquitoes. As we have both Huebner and Zarzamora Creeks running through our city, it is doubly important for Leon Valley residents to make every effort to dump out any stagnant water from abandoned plant pots, Vases, pet water bowls, flowerpot saucers, buckets, pool covers, birdbaths, trash cans, rain barrels. wheelbarrows, old tires, buckets, shovels, and anything else that can hold  even the smallest amount of water and breed mosquitoes. 
In addition, there are numerous yards overgrown due to the immense amount of rain we received. Please cut your grass as soon as you can to also prevent the breeding of mosquitoes. The City will be aggressively spraying for mosquitoes this week and next to reduce the occurrence, but the spray won't reach into all areas, so we need everyone's assistance in this endeavor. Thank you in advance for your cooperation!

ON IT


The City of Leon Valley is bringing new life and enforcement to the ON IT  program. All City Departments are teaming together to bring more attention and compliance to your neighborhood issues and concerns. The intention of the   ON IT  program is to have a direct means of reporting your community concerns regarding streets, sidewalks, abandoned homes, loose or dead animal reports, permitting concerns, noise or other neighborhood nuisances and much more.

The goal is to ensure that City service requests and information is handled, as promptly as possible, with a high level of customer service. Report it and an  ON IT team member will respond as quickly as possible.

Helpful Safety Tips
_____________________________________________________________________
 
2 018 Fire Prevention Campaign
"Look. Listen. Learn. Be aware. Fire can happen anywhere," works to educate people about three basic but essential steps to take to reduce the likelihood of having a fire--and how to escape safely in the event of one:

LOOK
Look for places fire could start. Take a good look around your home. Identify potential fire hazards and take care of them.

LISTEN
Listen for the sound of the smoke alarm. You could have only minutes to escape safely once the smoke alarm sounds. Go to your outside meeting place, which should be a safe distance from the home and where everyone should know to meet.

LEARN
Learn two ways out of every room and make sure all doors and windows leading outside open easily and are free of clutter.
